Fig. at is The device it so coln'structod that the parts thenooit lllfl be made ct metal Efl'ztllljjlllffi, and reierr to the il'ornu-i shown in Fig l, 2, ii and 4; (3 indicates an elon ggated convex or dished body the under side oi which is concave and has depending; thcreironn near the :front end, an inclined tongue or blade 7, ILIIOSOIHLIIIS (l and '3" being' pressed Il'Olll one piece OI sheet metal. The blade 7 G'XtGHCS laterrilly across under the body and inc-linedv downmmflly and lmcluwtri'lly so that when the device is drawn. through the Water it will tend to jump or rise and tall. in consequence oil the inclination of the Said tongue 7. The hook 8 projects above the body (5, the shank of the hooh lacing; ex-- tended tlJYUlIIfJfll a hole in the body, where it is fastened es by a drop of solder S), and out through the trout end or head tor attach ment to the line. A pair ct wings '10 are hinged at ill. to opposite sides oi the hody the hinges being oi. simple construction. formed by hending; tongues at the edge of the body around pins or projections on the wings, sui'l iently loose to permit the win to rise and :l'all as sluywn in lligi t in course of the mow-ancnt oi the body through the water. The wl'iole will give the appearance of a i'ly and it may be decorated as desired, to imitate flies of different kinds.

hoye a movement Slllllllittljflg a natural fly. In the ilforni shown in. Figs. 5, 6 and 7 the wings ore hinged to smell wires 20 fixed to the under side oi the body and held by tongues 2']. bent over the Wires, and the under side oi? the body is provided with a pair OI tongues 92 soldered thereto and acting; its stops to limit the downward move ment or flap of the Wings 10.

In the term shown in F ilthe downward flap of the WT es is limited by ti o tongue a tt'l11"'t which the wings stdhe. In both oi. the terms, in consequence of the structure and connection of the Wings the up and down movement or flap of the wings is limited and the "Wings will extend out- W a rdly or project in all positions of the body end will prevent the wings from collapsing in any position The concave body and the Wings having limited movement will insure lifelike activity oil the body when in use.

I claim:

ll. An artificial bait comprising a body provided with hinged win s at the sides and. havi a projection on the under side to limit the downward movement of the wings.

2. .An artificial. bait comprising, a sheet metal body concave on the under side, and a 'poir oil hinged Wings at opposite edges of the body.

8. An artificial bait comprising a concave sheet metal body he vin g a downwardly pro" jecting toi'igne, and a pair o'l. wings lunged to the sides oi the body and adapted to stop against said tongue when partly folded.

4;. A n artificial bolt comprising; a concave sheet metal body, a pair or? win hinged to the opposite edges of the body, stops for the wings projecting ILOID the under side of the body, and a hook secured to the body.

5. An artificial bait comprising a sheet metal body, concave on the under side and having a depending tongue on the under side projecting downwardly and haclmvardly, and a pair OI Wings hinged to opposite sides of the body and adopted to stop against said tongue.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my i-signoture in presence of two Witnesses.
